Deadset if gus does not have an ace up his sleeves and announces a couple of big bodies then forget next season we will def be fighting for the spoon. People are saying we are thin in front row. We are far from that we are almost non existent. We are lucky to have 1-2 first grade quality front...

gus mention anything about jac? Havnt seen any highlights or a whisper of him on social media so far since training has commenced? Am I missing something

Sorry let me rephrase… I didn’t mean weak as in shitty players I meant as in strong hard running ball carriers… don’t get me wrong im loving our backline in attack but we lack the hard running type of player like a sivo in the back line. I miss the Utai days of just barging over from sheer...

We have one of the weakest outside backs in the comp by far… top that with next to no forward pack to get us up field? Wtf is going on with retention and recruitment… better hope there’s better to come or tick us off for wooden spoon favs next season!

I agree the issue is gus is on a 5 year contract with a 5 year option in his favour… could tanking it a little be on the cards due to being the king at the club and no one questioning him? I’m not sure as it’s prob just something I’m over thinking but for us to be in the position we are with out...

Mate please look at Penrith and what he done. He could never manage a playing roster! He is a king at building the junior base and getting a club out of crap for the future but from what I have seen in the past and currently here at the dogs is that he does stupid shit like making rfm club...

Good on jac for doing what he is doing but if he has another average year in 2024 I expect the club to fuck him off and his stupid social media crap. Respected him for a long time but the cash videos and shit he posts up these days reminds me of a try hard gangster… the **** is losing his mind...

So like the other thread here any updates on signings? Or the only announcement is letting go some players and moving potter to nsw cup coach? Anything else I’ve missed?

So I came to see a blood bath and yet to see a single announcement lol… beauty we are looking sweet for 2024 bring it on…. NOT!

I’m on the Gus train myself but I’m also getting to the point where I’m on the fence atm. I do not see much positives coming from the 2 years he has been here in relation to grade results. Yes I’m happy he is building the junior base but before he arrived he told everyone it’ll be 2 years before...

Really? So as a young player wanting a go are you willing to sign with the dogs atm knowing you can get a tap on the shoulder at any time. Contract or no contract? I’m not saying in this instance it’s the wrong move as I didn’t rate him but what I’m saying is you are dragging your credentials...

When does gus or any of the recruitment get the blame for signing so many players for majority of them to be let go the year after cause they are duds. I’m sorry you can’t keep signing potential and try fluke one. People need to be asking questions on who is making all these decisions and if...

I don’t see why he wouldn’t be offered a one year extension he was one of our best and that’s saying something. He can cover in the middle also as we have f all their even depth. He isn’t gona just walk into the manly side. Anyway hope some decent replacements are announced soon

Has anyone heard this dope talk? He can’t string 2 sentences together! Whoever listens to anything he says is just as dumb….

The last time we won the jersey flegg was the times we had Thurston and sonny…. Could be a repeat of good times ahead I hope.

Some nsw rugby league page on Facebook. Can’t remember the actual name of the page

Who’s Cody parry? Any good?

I’ve got no issue with him going. The only time I’d raise a question and be worried is if these juniors go on to other clubs and become stars. Or very good footballers. Then questions need to be asked.

Sorry don’t swing that way but each to their own hhahaha unless your a female hahaha

Yes he is a little raw but what do people expect? A superstar instantly… he has every attribute a gun footballer can have early on in his grade year.. he has speed, strength and footy smarts… mark my words this kid will be a gun wing/fullback in the near future

This kid needs to be in the blue and white. I rate him up there and could potentially be our fb for a long time. Yes we have a couple of gun juniors who can slot into the 1 but if we let this guy go I think we will regret it. Has he signed on for a top 30 spot next year?

After watching these final series atm we might as well sign ex retired players… we are in no chance even remotely close to putting a competitive team for 2024. We are going to get ass raped in every game with our current front row.

Just watched it. No joke like watching young Penrith players playing. Unbelievable speed In the ruck and commitment in both defence and attack. Gona be hard to stop if they play like that in the gf.

Wow

Everyone has a point here but it’s kinda sad how the name calling gets thrown around. Relax guys it’s footy talk not life or death! I agree with people saying and Ciro wouldn’t know about players being lazy etc etc but I also agree that gus has stuffed up a shit load of recent signings and I’m...

Agree but we need front rowers. We basically have 2 front rowers in the top 30… what are they going to play up front all midgets?

Wtf is going on. Yes we need depth but fuck me dead what’s with all the utility signings

There has to be a reason why he was first picked at the start then after injury he never was given another chance and then just fucked off to Newcastle? Something is happening behind closed doors that we ain’t getting told of. I’m hoping it is what it is and they are just getting rid of the dud...

Each to their own but what id love to know is, woukd Davey come out and respond to graham? Or is he just gona stay quiet and let it pass? Gona get interesting!

Put it this way. We don’t sign any forwards then expect another year of the same bs!

I’m convinced… gus must be giving him some bloody good crack to smoke!

If the club RE signs Alamoti I’m not watching a single game next year. Dead set dog shit brains

Look I’m trying to stay positive but I think there’s more to it then just player unrest, we will all find out in due time but I’m hoping it’s all exactly what we are being fed and not being blindsided….I really do hope Ciro can turn things around as another coach is not the answer but I have a...

I’d prefer to win by 1 then get thrashed by 40 every week

Without forwards Weill struggle to not get the spoon next year.

Yep hence why I don’t get why everyone is believing everything they are hearing. The unrest through the whole club starting from nsw cup all the way to grade is not a soft cock issue…. There is a lot more that’s going on behind closed doors we are not getting told. Gus is very smart when it...

You know what kills me and people all fail to see… I understand Ciro has to come out and defend the club and himself and now the players are the ones looking like the sooks but has anyone else thought wtf is going on with every other single player? Besides Preston, wadell and maybe a couple...

It could be the same negative comments and could be repetitive but don’t you think there’s how many people on this forum? You either have an opinion that’s like yours or it isn’t. Ofcourse you’re going to hear the same shit over and over. A little obvious when everyone wants to express their...

Either way we are going around in circles… whatever is happening wether anyone wants Ciro or gus there has no choice but to wait and see what happens, they ain’t going anywhere any time soon. Especially when your signed on a 5 year $900k a year contract plus 5 years in your favour… this rebuild...

Never said he wasn’t, I’m talking from what I’m seeing from the outside, you can’t push the agenda if a rebuild and ignore the main goal… to compete!

Massive face palm this club has become…. My god! One of 2 things…. Either Ciro and Gus have gone too far and pushed the work load way to hard or the players are soft Wankers who have been riding this club for a cheque for years. Either one this shit needs to get sorted fast cause if I was a...

Look I also understand where you are coming from. But this is my view…. The club gave some hope to the players with all the bs lovey connection bs they Brain washed them into. Then as the year went on with injuries true colours came out and players who should have been picked kept getting over...

Yep I used to think so until he admitted it’s a lot harder then he ever thought and then admits he can’t wait till season is over like wtf?

If you don’t like the fact people have different opinions to yours then maybe you shouldn’t be on a PUBLIC forum? Food for thought yea?

Ok so nsw cup players didn’t set the world on fire but the coach decides he sticks with the same crap team after he blasts the effort in the post match conference!!!! That will do me the **** shows he has no idea… what’s the definition of insanity? Throw Wilson at the back and Perham wing…...

What kills me is Ciro comes out post match and blasts the players for not having a go. Then names the same exact players for the following week. The guy deserves everything he is coping!

Burton, Mahoney, jac and to a certain extent kiks have all declined massively. This surly is a coaching problem. Ciro looks to have lost the leaders in the group and I have a feeling most of those players are part of the unsettled players in the club. Don’t be surprised if one or 2 of our...

I’m glad you do. And I hope you’re right cause I was the same until a few weeks ago when I heard gus talk on 100% footy. In short he basically said we won’t see success for years to come until juniors develop hahahah what a load of bs! So what he is trying tk tell us is, expect failure for a few...

It’s beyond a joke how many so called fans are sheep to the bs that keeps getting told by gus and co from the club…. I said it when we first signed gus.. his words were it’s gona take time bla bla bla… but yet we get worse every week. The time he has been here we have gotten worse and not just a...

Not having a go at you but please save the optimism! The club presented the best possible image for them to start getting rid of those players within a few weeks of the season. What kind of confidence does that instil to the playing group? Talk it up, sign them to top 30 then just start...

Wouldn’t surprise me if both of them are part of the ones whinging!

So over this pathetic club and anyone who runs it. At one stage there was light at the end of the tunnel… all the bs videos at the end of pre season and so called unity bull crap! Pathetic and embarrassing…. Anyone involved in the club needs to be held responsible and dealt with… bloody shambles!!!

I agree get rid of the 2023 fox… if we can’t get back the fox we signed from storm next year they need to move him on. Footy seems to be the last thing in his mind these days.

Who are they dm me

I’m sorry coach but clearly it’s something your coaching staff is going. I’ve never seen a bunch of superstars decline like ours. Jac, Burton, Mahoney and some what kiks today all just look way out of depth. No hunger, stupid mistakes, no commitment and no care. It’s like they are all giving the...

What’s with the wadell hate? The guy has been fantastic this year. I reckon our best forward all year

I think it’s a whole mix of things. He is trying to hard, he is over playing his hand, he is trying to create things as he doesn’t have faith in his halves??? Either way what he is doing is plain stupid! It hasn’t worked all year so refine your game and just play your role. I can’t remember the...

I agree but the thing is he isn’t getting coached like he should and that’s on all the staff and coaches. As I said previously they don’t care and effort is of minimal use at this club. If ciraldo wants to be taken seriously then show some balls and drop big name players to show an example...

The kid is a good player. He is footy smart but the club and what’s happening is destroying his confidence. Look at Mahoney and how much he meant to parra, they won’t make the 8 without him bjt with us he does the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. It’s like the big name players can get out there and...

Great footy player. Worst 6 in the game atm. Any 6 in any other team is outplaying him in all aspects of the game. The kid needs to either be dropped to bring back the hunger or change positions. I said earlier this week to give him till mid next year but he is getting worse every game.

Someone hook Burton ffs

What’s bloody happened. We were literally unstoppable and now they have all shit the bed. Something is seriously going wrong at the club

I think Taffe was brought in to play in the halves tbh. Gus in 100% said Burton needs to make the halves his. So he really hasn’t cemented his position and so he shouldn’t. He either plays centre or fb. We will wait and see. Happy to see him stay at 6 for half a year next year and if it isn’t...

Heart attack

Spencer would have been a blessing right about now lol. I feel a wooden spoon is in the works next year

Dude has nothing to do with patience or RE building. The RE building excuses is just that! An excuse. If we were improving and getting beaten then I’d be all for it but for us to get dominated in every aspect of the game is worrying. Foundations are built strong so the rest can fall in place...

Tpj is gone he will be signed for another 2 years. We have no choice

Seriously if we thought this year was bad for our front row next year looks worse. We have fuck all kg up front. Might as well play the lightest and smallest team in the comp and try score 1000 points a game. It’s the only way for us to win games next year lol

Really hoping for a marquee from another club wanting out who we need in the off season. It’s the only hope.

Didn’t feel me with great confidence hearing him speak. You can tell he is expecting the same in the next 2 years minimum. The ifs and maybes he was talking about and the outright denial of no one on the market just confirmed with me that the club is accepting the fact we are going to be shit...

Guys honestly the only way things are gona change is if we stop going to games, stop buying merch and just hit the club where it hurts. I hate to do that but I renewed my membership and got my kids one even though I don’t go to many games thinking we will turn a corner this year, well not...

When was the last time he did one? I can’t even remember! The guy has lost total interest

I feel your frustration and I’m first to stick up for Gus but a lot of shit this season has failed that much that we have regressed when I thought we couldn’t possibly get worse with the new recruits. I’m still holding out hope but if my mid year next year we are pretty much the same I’ll be...

No excuse the **** is a marquee player who is meant to create opportunities. If players are throwing in the towel already then they can piss off with our shitty assistant.

What worries me the most is I actually agree with this hack! What I also am worried about is players getting coached to not play the way they want to. Sexton was a refreshing breathe air and now he has regressed just after 3 games. I’m more than convinced ciraldo has no fucking idea what he is...

Gus won’t sack ciraldo till atleast 2025… he either appoints an experienced assistant who takes over secretly and gets paid coach wages or he sends ciraldo packing 2025 saying it was too much for him. No way he sacks him 2024. No coach will want to join us if we keep punting coaches every year...

I don’t think gus is the issue but if we are still in the same position by 2025 then they all need a tap on the shoulder and all need to F off. How long can you keep the rebuild excuse going for? Or nsw cup has regressed and our marquee players are getting worse every week.

I think we have the talent to compete but the players have no care what so ever for failure. And it all boils down to the coach. He needs to learn to stop being a mate coach and be a man coach. Rip the ***** heads in who ain’t performing and drop players who ain’t in form and putting in. Keeping...

We are by far the worst team in the nrl. Wests and dragons will smack us if we were to play them and that’s nothing to be proud about. Burton needs to be shifted back to centre and we need a quick running 6. Taffe fullback? Or plays in the halves with Chriton fb. We also need a couple of big...

Beautiful from our so called marquee players, one knocks on and the other gives a penalty the next tackle

Our missed tackles per game is embarrassing that’s all attitude

This team on paper shouldn’t be this far Behind. The coaching is a joke. Questions need to be asked

Fuck this team is atrocious

Fucking take Thomson off

I get it… the club will never drop him… his name puts bums on seats and kids love him…. But as a winger he has done sweet f all this season. A lot of no names and fringe grade wingers in other teams have been a lot better. The guy needs to wake up and realise he is a marquee player for the dogs...

It’s really upsetting how much jac as declined this year, I think the new clothing brand lets trottt and the crowd he is hanging around here in Sydney isn’t doing him any favours. Guy is a shadow of his previous self. Had a feeling it was gona happen.

Honestly I said it before scrap Belmore that place is a cemetery for us… we just can’t win.

Game over?

Just stop playing at Belmore it’s fucking cursed

I’m sorry dunno all the fuss about rajab… I honest to god see nothing in him.

Atleast our. NSW cup get some players back. We need a win there also

He is a great player who sadly never recovered mentally from his injury. He and trainer also said they thought he would never play again and maybe that would have been the right thing to do. The guy is a shadow of him self from a couple of years ago and the game has just passed him. Once you’re...

Yea cause gus has been on fire lately. Letting go our best option as a fb with nothing but rubbish out there as replacements is smart business. They talk about a rebuild and use of juniors when they got rid of one of our best. I bet he didn’t even sign for massive money at the dolphins and will...

So we use the excuse we are building our juniors bla bla bla and just get rid of one of our shinning lights and junior. Fucking pathetic

Why are panthers players celebrating like they are playing a decent team. Dead set half of nsw cup teams atm will smack this fucking mob. Bloody crap is an understatement

Swear to god the club is run by dead set fuckwits with no iq which players take on the field. Absaloute 0 footy iq and next to no pride atall. Embarrassing fuckwits the whole club

Defence across the board is non existent. Embarrassing… also gus chopping player and sending them off to play elsewhere doesn’t help either

Cogger is a step up from flano but not the answer, great depth if anything

I agree and disagree… agree des was the beginning of the end of an era for us but I also disagree when you say we are still in damage control over it. It’s more the guys at the top end that take the blame. They have had years and multipul players we could have signed who they failed to do so...

Tigers are bulldogs 2.0… signing unproven players on big money hoping to find a gem. It’ll be a master stroke if it works but people will ignore the other 1000 players they signed on massive money and flopped! Aka joshy and mbye!
